Adipose-precise delivery of microwave-derived soybean lecithin-polypyrrole nano-pufferfish-shaped nanoparticle for localized NIR-photothermal therapy in managing obesity
Obesity is a major global health issue, and current treatments targeting appetite suppression or fat absorption often have limited effectiveness and adverse side effects. Localized therapies with minimal systemic toxicity are needed to address obesity's underlying causes.
We developed a photothermal therapy using intraperitoneally (IP) administered microwave-derived soybean lecithin-polypyrrole nanoparticles with a nano-pufferfish shape, responsive to near-infrared (NIR) light. This therapy directly targets adipose tissue to induce apoptosis, providing localized treatment with minimized side effects.
Compared to untreated or NIR-only control groups, this method changed adipocyte metabolic activity. It also increased the expression of biomarkers, indicating activation of stress pathways that contribute to anti-obesity effects.
This localized, adipose-targeted photothermal therapy significantly improves metabolism while minimizing systemic toxicity. It holds promise for long-term, self-administered obesity management, offering an effective, low-risk alternative to conventional treatments.
期刊介绍:
Biomaterials Advances, previously known as Materials Science and Engineering: C-Materials for Biological Applications (P-ISSN: 0928-4931, E-ISSN: 1873-0191). Includes topics at the interface of the biomedical sciences and materials engineering. These topics include:
• Bioinspired and biomimetic materials for medical applications
• Materials of biological origin for medical applications
• Materials for "active" medical applications
• Self-assembling and self-healing materials for medical applications
• "Smart" (i.e., stimulus-response) materials for medical applications
• Ceramic, metallic, polymeric, and composite materials for medical applications
• Materials for in vivo sensing
• Materials for in vivo imaging
• Materials for delivery of pharmacologic agents and vaccines
• Novel approaches for characterizing and modeling materials for medical applications
Manuscripts on biological topics without a materials science component, or manuscripts on materials science without biological applications, will not be considered for publication in Materials Science and Engineering C. New submissions are first assessed for language, scope and originality (plagiarism check) and can be desk rejected before review if they need English language improvements, are out of scope or present excessive duplication with published sources.
Biomaterials Advances sits within Elsevier''s biomaterials science portfolio alongside Biomaterials, Materials Today Bio and Biomaterials and Biosystems. As part of the broader Materials Today family, Biomaterials Advances offers authors rigorous peer review, rapid decisions, and high visibility. We look forward to receiving your submissions!
